Who Needs to Apply for a Family Visa?
You may need to apply for a UK Family or Partner Visa if you want to live in the United Kingdom with close family members. The Family Visa route is designed to help families stay together for more than six months, whether you are joining a partner, caring for a child, or supporting a dependent relative.
You may need to apply for a Family Visa if you want to:
- Join a spouse, fiancé, or long-term partner who is living lawfully in the UK
- Bring children or dependants to live with you in the UK
- Remain in the UK based on a family relationship after holding another visa
- Switch from a work, study, or other temporary visa to a family-based route
Eligibility depends on factors such as your relationship status, immigration history, financial requirements, English language ability, and the supporting evidence you can provide.
Family and Partner Visa Routes We Support
We support a wide range of family-based immigration applications, including visas for partners, parents, children, and dependent relatives. The appropriate visa route will depend on your relationship to the person you are joining and your individual circumstances.
Each case is assessed on its own merits, with advice tailored to your personal situation and long-term plans in the UK.
